Do these socks provide any compression to the top of the foot and ankle?

yes , you feel like you have an insert in your shoe and your ankle stops hurting, as was my case.

Not that much compression at top of the foot and ankle. But very nice for the arch.

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

I don't fly, but I do not think it would make a difference But people with blood clotting disorders would not be any safer with compression socks. I would ask my physican.

The full sock is designed to give compression over the entire foot/leg. Removing the foot would mean no compression on foot or ankle area. There are socks with toes exposed, half foot and probably ankle to knee. Why pay for more sock than you need or have to cut 1 up.?

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

I would say the ones I have are the thinnest of all that I have tried. They have plenty of room for the toes and heel. I love them. Finally found the compression sock that I like.

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

I can't say that they are "medical grade" but after my knee replacement, I cited the specs of these to my doctor and PT who said they have enough compression to easily equal or better the typical white compression stockings. They worked a treat for me even while I was still in the throes of severe and constant edema shortly after the knee replacement.

Yes. In my opinion when I wear the compressions, I feel more secure. I feel my legs are supported as I run. I do not feel overly compressed or too tight. I wear them for every run and love the feel. Definitely recommend.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.

Yes both my podiatrist and cardiologist says they. They work as well as the regular compression socks I had but now I have separate toes. The more I wear them the more I like them.

I don't see why not. They are a knee high dress sock that offers compression. Many runners are using compression socks these days.

No, just a comfortable woven sock. The top expands to look like an open weave and stays up. I like mine, pity that white is the only color. I like my colors lol

I am size 7.5 and the women's m-l were WAY to big. I felt no compression AT ALL even though I chose the ones in my size range. I think that if you want compression with these socks you'll have to go with m-l, I think men's will be too big and you wont be satisfied with amount of compression.

All compression sock will help reduce the likelihood of developing DVT when sitting for extended period on long haul flights. Airline cabins are compressed therefore so is everyone inside. Affects vary from person to person. Personally I just used these for the 1st time a week ago when traveling from Canada to the Middle East and noticed a big reduction in swelling of my ankles.

My ankles tend to swell and when I take my socks off there is usually an indentation, with these the was none. HOPE THAT HELPS.
